Re: Council's way of Selling Houses

Good luck, if you decide to go for it.
Thats how I took it sounded a bit of a con.

The property would NEED a survey as its a large house thats been empty for some time.

TBH I will probably give it a miss or just put in a low offer and keep my fingers crossed.

Wonder who has acess to the envelopes before the draw.
